Windows 8 Desktop

Having just installed 8 on my work laptop, any recommendations on personalisation?

I'm sick of the wallpapers at Interface Lift - I've used them to death for five years!

Given the wallpapers on InterfaceLift are updated daily, I'm not entirely sure how you can 'use them to death', however try Microsoft's own themes:

Thanks Memphis, my post was a bit ambiguous...what I meant was that after a while many of the IL wallpapers are of a similar genre and hence get repetitive.

I didn't realise MS had such an in depth theme site, thank you.

I've also just noticed the 90+ page sticky at the top with desktops, so this thread is a bit redundant, I'll join that one!

The panoramic photos on the MS are pretty good. I've been using them on my dual screen work setup for a while. Set to change every 30 minutes it takes me weeks if not months to get sick of them.
